On the occasion of the addition of Ercole amante, an opera by Antonia Bembo staged for the first time in Europe, director Netia Jones and conductor Leonardo García-Alarcón discuss the role of women composers in Baroque music, the fate of this little-known score, and their artistic choices.

For the second consecutive season, the Paris Opera is offering monthly encounters with artists to shed light on upcoming productions, just days before opening night.

Titled Toï toï toï, these exclusive events held at the Amphitheatre or Studio of the Opéra Bastille give audiences a chance to discover new productions or explore the repertoire, and to engage directly with the artists at the end of each session.
